Google's Pixel Buds translation will change the world

“But tucked into the tail end of the presentation, Google quietly revealed that it had changed the world with a pair of wireless headphones…Google packed its headphones with the power to translate between 40 languages, literally in real-time. The company has finally done what science fiction and countless Kickstarters have been promising us, but failing to deliver on, for years. This technology could fundamentally change how we communicate across the global community.”

Also, discussion on how Google stacks up against Microsoft’s Skype Live Translator and Microsoft’s Presentation Translator.

Micorsoft’s stuff hasn’t made a dent. Maybe Google can do better. Impacts / influences for language learning?
